How to find real joy.

[IHUOMA C. UMEZURUMBA]

Sometimes I feel I can give definition to any word. But often times the more you define this words and the more you experience your definition the clearer it becomes that you may not have the answer. How can one find real Joy?

[Mary O]

I feel a lot of joy when I find something new in the bible, something that I haven't seen before. I also feel joyful when someone that I have witnessed to gets born again. It's also a lot of joy to watch them grow in God's word. (1 Thessalonians 2:19-20)

Hi My Sister in Christ

Joy and Peace comes from the Lord,(Ps. 4:7) two kinds of joy are contrasted here ---- inward joy that comes from knowing and trusting God and happiness that comes as a result of pleasant circumstances, inward joy is steady as long as we trust God: happiness is unpredictable, Inward joy defeats discouragement; happiness covers it up. Inward joy is lasting; happiness is temporary, remember that happiness is dependent on our external circumstances and what's (Ps.16:9)happening at the moment. Let us, as we contemplate his daily presence, that, we will find contentment, as we understand the future he has for us, we will experience joy. Les us base our lives not on circumstances but on God.
